Looking at the equation, the last two digits after the fifth underscore represents x, and the last two digits after the sixth underscore represents y. 
In the original equation, x = 55 and y = 11. 
If x decreases by 2 units, it becomes x = 53. 
To find the corresponding change in y, we can simply substitute x = 53 into the equation and subtract from the original value of y.

11eb651f_cbab_af83_b0a1_a3cd06142a50_TB8255_11 - 11eb651f_cbab_886e_b0a1_33aaaa770bba_TB8255_11 = 11 (hexadecimal)

Converting 11 to decimal, we get that the corresponding change in y is 17. 
Therefore, the best choice would be Option D, 11eb651f_cbab_af82_b0a1_a3cd06142a50_TB8255_11, where y has decreased by 17 (from 82 to 65).
